MSDE not upgraded to full version

We have a customer that has MSDE 2000 loaded on his machine. They are
running SBS 2003 Premium, so we took the SQL 2000 CD that came w/ the
system and went to load SQL Server 2000. Well, it didn't give me the
ooption of the default instance.
How can I upgrade the default instance of MSDE to a full version of SQL
Server 2000? Or did i just miss something in the installation?

You cannot upgrade. You have to install a new instance and then restore or
reattach your existing data to it.
